Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a hydrophilic catheter?
▾
Hydrophilic catheters have a coating that becomes extremely slippery when hydrated, reducing friction during insertion and removal. This minimizes urethral trauma and discomfort, and clinical studies show they lower the risk of urinary tract infections compared to uncoated catheters.
Does LoFricPrimo require additional lubrication?
▾
No, LoFricPrimo does not need extra lubrication. The catheter is activated by its own sterile water, which hydrates the hydrophilic coating. This ensures consistent slipperiness from start to finish without added gels or mess.
How do you use LoFricPrimo?
▾
To use LoFricPrimo, simply squeeze the water chamber to release sterile fluid into the catheter sleeve, wait a few seconds for activation, then insert. The entire process is clean, quick, and designed for discreet use anywhere without additional supplies.
Is LoFricPrimo latex-free?
▾
Yes, LoFricPrimo is completely latex-free, making it safe for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities. It is made from medical-grade materials designed for biocompatibility and patient safety during repeated use.
Can LoFricPrimo be reused?
▾
No, LoFricPrimo is designed for single use only. Reusing it increases the risk of infection and compromises the hydrophilic coating. Each unit comes sterile and should be discarded after one catheterization for safety and effectiveness.
